After Freddy Got Fingered, we really shouldn't be surprised at the junk Hollywood will cast on the silver screen. Yet somehow we're still a little shocked that Farmville is making the move from Facebook to the local cinema, or at least that's what IGN was able to extrapolate from a recent interview with Toy Story writers Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen.

The duo told IGN they're working on a number of new projects and are in "conversations with Zynga to do something with one of their brands." They didn't come right out and mention Farmville, only heavily hinted at that being the subject of a new movie.

"Can't really say too much on that front yet, but 'Old MacDonald' didn't have a factory, if you get our drift," the writers said.

No he certainly did not, nor was Mr. MacDonald involved with the mafia, at least as far as we know. But he did have a farm, and if the talks continue to progress, we'll have a Farmville flick.
